The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Sadly, this exact discussion actually took place a number of different times in a number of different places.

Just to be clear about a point that I've been beating to death recently, this video is an excellent introduction to Neoplatonic thought. I'm not even joking. Just replace the long name with "The One". Yup. The One (source of all things) produces Intellect, which gives us Soul, which creates matter, and then the lower-caps versions of intellect and soul, and finally our bodies.

Yeah. That's pre-Christian thought in a nutshell. I use "nutshell" for obvious reasons.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
